LIEUT. HOWARD GRESTLOCK News of whose death in action while serving with the Strathcona Horse was received here yesterday. He was well known in Victoria, although he has no relatives here, and also in the North, having gone all the way from Dawson to Ottawa to join the forces at the beginning of war. A typical soldier of fortune, he served through the South African war, and was the outbreak of the present struggle. He left Canada with the first contingent as all the important engagements since, at Givenchy, at St. Eloi and later at the Somme. He rose from the ranks of a lieutenancy on his personal merit. On February 4 he was reported missing and a cable to the effect that he was killed reached Ottawa on Friday.
